What should I buy?

[Legends of the Playground]

I'm gonna make a purchase in the next few days. One box of "normal" smokes and maybe a box of quickies. What say ye:

Box 1
Bolivar Royal Corona
ERDM Choix Supreme
Monte #3
Punch Black Prince

Box 2
Upmann Corona Minor
HdM Coronations
Partagas Shorts

 

[scottsins]

I would go for the Punch Black Prince, since I've always wanted to try those.

p.s. - Happy B-Day tomorrow B.J. There will be a little something extra in your package going out today,

royal coronas and partagas shorts

The Punch Black Prince are tasty, I'd go for them. I like all three of the shorts but am a little partial to the Partagas Shorts.

 

[Legends of the Playground]

I'm leaning toward the Black Prince's because they don't make them any more, at least not according to Perelman's. They're the same size as Punch Punch so I'd think they were similar in taste.

Thanks, Scott. I'll let you know how it feels to be 35 tomorrow. :crosseyed

B.J. - Any word on the Columbus trip as a b-day present yet?

 

[Legends of the Playground]

Nah, and she'd be crazy if she did. Last I checked (like on Saturday) airfare was still over $800 per person.

Now, if she did, I'd flip out.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

I didn't know they were discontinued. get those for sure.

and I think the consensus is the shorts as your second choice.

 

[scottsins]

so legends, does that mean the burnt orange thong option is back in play?

 

[Legends of the Playground]

For me or her?

I just pulled the trigger on the Black Princes. Decided to wait on another box until I see something I really want. I've got more than enough Short Stories to keep me busy for now.

 

[scottsins]

For me or her?

uncalled for. :sadstare:

 

[Legends of the Playground]

Oh, and when I get them, I'll send you a couple. The Black Prince's, I mean. :halfgrinw

 

[Legends of the Playground]

This is odd... I just got confirmation from the vendor. Box code: KMM OCT04. But according to Perelman's, the Black Prince was discontinued in 2002.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

that sucks. but fuck it, bring them in anyway.

happy birthday :bdaycake:

 

[Legends of the Playground]

Vendor confirmed it. Hey, that's ok, they have almost a year on them already. The shipment goes out on Friday.

 

[GuyMcBeerdrinker]

bet you get them on tuesday, maybe later.

they get sent to poyle, gb and from there they make the hop across the pond to memphis and then AK.

 

[Legends of the Playground]

All is well on the box code. Apparently, "It's because habanos do some inspections some times and they re-stamped the box. " from a CW post.
